When it comes to interests, human rights and democratic norms usually take a back seat. Undoubtedly, the unholy Israel–US nexus, coupled with the unabated indifference of the Muslim world, has only further emboldened both Washington and Tel Aviv to act with growing impunity.
Court rulings, road shutdowns, Internet restrictions, threats of arrest-none of this stopped PTI from heeding Khan's call and converging on Islamabad.
That says a lot about the figure that Khan is, and the power that he continues to wield over his base-even from his jail cell.
Do today's policymakers have the courage to change our status quo? Well, this is Pakistan where comfortable victories turn into overnight defeats, as our so-called leaders prioritize personal interests over national good.

The worst and most treacherous CJ of our history combined with the worst, most treacherous parties of our history, Pindi puppet party (PPP) and Pindi Minions League (PML), combined to cause much much much more damage to democracy in a year than PTI did in 4 years. This is evidentially irrefutable. Yet many analysts are still focused much more on PTI wrongs. Raises serious doubts about their claims to be democrats.
CJP Qazi Faez Isa’s minority judgment in the reserved seats case is unbecoming of a Judge & undermines the credibility of his own institution.
To date, ECP has failed to comply with the reserved seats decision, and the CJP is encouraging defiance of the Court.
This is our enlightened Islamic republic, where justice is denied, the vulnerable are left unprotected, and those in power remain indifferent to the suffering of the people.

They said home is your safe place.
Nearly 50% of women face domestic violence there.
They said travel, you will feel better. Nearly 60 to 70% women experience verbal and physical harassment during their daily commutes.
They said work, you will be empowered,
Over 1200 cases of sexual harassment at work is logged every year.
They said educate your daughters, it's the cornerstone of a country's progress. Tragically, even the learning spaces are not immune to the scourge of sexual violence.
365 days of impunity and still counting. A staggering 42000 death toll and it keeps exceeding. Yet, the sobering figure has not stirred the conscience of the so-called torchbearers of human rights.
The utter hypocrisy of the West and the Muslim world is appaling!
